    my 455

     



    hey everyone
    i got a 1973 buick electra and got it for $400 cause the cylinder heads need a rebuild... how much is this gonna cost me?
    ima get the heads off next weekend and look around for a machine shop to do the work.
    is there anyway i can do the heads to save some money?
    i got another week 1/2 till the heads are off... yay
    after the heads... new exaust and cam... then ON THE ROAD SHE GOES!!! might sell it next summer though cause ive always wanted a dodge charger... probably something with a 318 the way gas prices are...

    valve seats

     



    hardened valve seasts would help
    these were introduced in 1975 for unleaded fuels
